Blankenberg railway station

Blankenberg (Meckl) railway station is a railway station in Blankenberg with four platform tracks that serves as a junction point between the Bad Kleinen-Rostock and Wismar-Karow lines. The station building displays neoclassical architecture and continues to function as an active transport hub.

The station opened in 1850, marking the start of railway service linking Rostock and Bad Kleinen through this location. The original station building and its associated water tower have remained standing since that time and are now protected as historic monuments.

The station building shows the design approach favored for railway architecture during the 1800s in the northern German region. Local residents and travelers pass through this neoclassical building as part of their everyday movement through the town.

The station building is easy to reach on foot and has clear signage for the platforms. Regional trains run at regular intervals throughout the day, so checking the schedule before your visit is helpful.

The water tower at this station dates back to the original 1850 installation and remains one of the few preserved examples of railway infrastructure from that era. These towers once supplied steam locomotives with water and are now historical curiosities.
